Sam Altman has said any workers who are displaced by OpenAI will be given free transportation to the nearest culling facility where they will be summarily slaughtered and converted into a nutritious paste meant to be consumed by busy tech executives who don’t have time for regular meals.

Installing Nextcloud from EPEL on RHEL or Alma 10 The EPEL provided Nextcloud package can be easier to setup and maintain than the manual setup. Let’s try it.

I saw Nextcloud was in EPEL on EL10 and was curious why I couldn't find any documentation about using it that way, as opposed to manually deploying the tarball. I messed with it a bit and decided to write it down. Tested on RHEL and AlmaLinux. www.blakecarpenter.dev/nextcloud-on...

The marketing page for Lenovo's new handheld shows a guy playing at the bar and clearly I blacked out and attended their consumer test panel.

Seeking an instrument, maybe keyboards, viola, trumpet, or other things less common in a rock band, to play instrumental rock in Framingham. We can sit on the floor and drink cider while we rock.

Drum machines are programmed by people, and auto tune is an effect, a finicky one at that. If your
vocalist sucks, it'll start bending to the wrong note unless you take over. Autotune is typically either a manual process or exaggerated with 0ms response time for robot voice deliberately.

Man you're all over this thread defending plagiarism software like it's the same thing as tools used by actual humans.

I really don't want to reactivate Instagram, but the lack of chow-chow accounts on BlueSky has left a horrible hole in my life and my condo association won't let me adopt one.

More danger floofs please.

Although the price of a movie ticket since 2013 has doubled, it's still a better movie and successful enough to launch a franchise so whatever.

Urgent plea to every company with optional office work:

Toilet paper costs are at a record low since only 1/4 of your staff came back. Please upgrade from Scott to Charmin.

Cantab is a party, hope it packs in. Was bummed you were playing there while I'm traveling, but you happened to be in Philly the same day as me and you guys ruled at Nikki Lopez.

But he said "you Marvel nerds" when you were defending DC. No troll ever purposefully gets nerd obsessions wrong.

Fwiw dude is a huge wrestling fan so I'm recommending this as men in tights fantasy punching each other.

"I do not like them Sam I Am, I do not like Gunn's Superman." That's what you sound like right now.

Superman's power really depends on the era, he doesn't always juggle planets. Also, I don't know why people are telling you he's a wuss in this when he ultimately whoops everyone's ass.
